Buying real estate without an agent, also known as a For Sale By Owner (FSBO), involves handling the sale of a property independently, without the representation of a real estate agent.
There are several advantages to buying real estate without an agent. Firstly, it can save you money on commission fees, which typically range from 5% to 6% of the sale price. Secondly, it gives you more control over the process, allowing you to set your own price, negotiate directly with potential buyers, and determine the closing date.
